Using LinkedIn for Freelancers and Consultants
Ma Hnin Ei quit her marketing coordinator job at a Yangon agency six months ago. She had three steady clients paying her 800,000 MMK per month combined for social media management. Then two of them ended their contracts the same week. She spent the next month messaging old colleagues on Viber asking if anyone needed help. No one did. Meanwhile, a freelance copywriter she knew -- same skill level, same city -- was turning down work. The difference was not talent. It was that the copywriter had spent six months building a LinkedIn presence that made clients come to her. In Myanmar's growing freelance economy, the gap between hustling for every project and having projects find you often comes down to one platform most Myanmar freelancers ignore or misuse.
